We set our Irelia build recommendations by examining 608,140 recently ranked League matches with her in them. We only propose the best winrate Irelia builds that were built by ranked LoL players enough times for us to suggest them.

Best Irelia Runes

If you are fighting a varied enemy team composition, you should strongly consider getting her the Conqueror, Triumph, Legend: Alacrity, Last Stand, Nullifying Orb, and Transcendence runes. In recent games, she won the greatest fraction of her rounds when built with these runes. However, if you are playing a more homogenous enemy team composition, such as an AD focused or a tank heavy team, you should instead browse down and to the right to get the best Irelia runes to defeat your particular set of opponents.

Best Items for Your Irelia Build

The best items to include in your Irelia build include: Goredrinker, Guardian Angel, Sterak's Gage, and Blade of The Ruined King.

Guide to Playing with Irelia

  • Harass enemy champions by casting Bladesurge on a dying minion before going in.
  • Transcendent Blades let you siphon life from enemies while you are running away; this lets you gain your health back and potentially return to a fight if desired.
